Bacon Wrapped Artichoke Bites with Basil Mayo

Bacon Wrapped Artichoke Bites with Basil Mayo

1 lb. bacon (don't use thick)
4-14 oz. cans artichoke hearts, drained and cut in half
Decorative toothpicks
1 cup mayo
1 tbs. fresh basil, chopped
Juice of 1 lemon
4 dashes hot sauce
Salt & pepper to taste

Preheat broiler. Line 2 baking sheets with foil. Cut bacon in half and
place on one of the lined sheets. Broil for 3 mins. Remove from oven
and allow to cool. When cool enough to handle, wrap each artichoke half
in a piece of bacon with the broiled side touching the artichoke. Place
wrapped artichokes on the 2nd lined sheet and broil for 4 mins.
Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine the mayo, basil, lemon juice, hot
sauce, salt & pepper. Secure bacon and artichoke together with a
toothpick and serve basil-mayo alongside for dipping.
